PBF/PBEM Settings
-
@Panther That's how I intended it as well.
But I get the point that we probably want to have an option to get someone easily started without having to search this specific setting first.
We really want to give some sort of tooltip or popup to inform new users what they need to do first. -
@panther Yeah, I'm just worried that it'll make it harder to walk new players through setting it up if they need to go one place to put in their info and then another place to put in opponents email.
@RoiEX Yeah, I'd really like to make it more intuitive for new users. Existing users, it tends to matter less as they have their previous info and after you set it up once its not too bad. Maybe doing things like graying out your email in the settings page once you entered it for the first time and have to click on a little pencil icon to edit it again so that its more just info but still easy for first time users. Something that's a little more wizard like or uses terms that less technical users kind of understand would help as well.

@roiex I'm not too sure I understand what you're asking.
-
@scousemart I'm curious if there are people that use more than one email for PbEM.
-
@roiex OK, I get you now.
I use only Gmail for PBEM but I use Outlook for PBF. PBF is for axisandallies.org forum games.
Hope this helps. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: -
Yeah, I'm only talking about PbEM now.
PbF is a completely different story. -
@roiex Depends what you mean. Many players use a different dice email then email for save games for PBEM. But I don't think either of those would change very often.
-
Yeah, I know, what I wanted to say is that I'm only planning to redo PbEM for now, and focus on PbF later.
Because doing all at once is a way too large task. -
I have a question regarding PBEM/PBF and this seems as good a place as any to ask:
If a game is created using PBF, can it be converted to PBEM?
To clarify, if I start a game in PBF and play a few rounds, then wish to continue as a PBEM, can it be done or are the settings for each game type built in, therefore it's not possible?
Thanks. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes: -
@scousemart Yes. You can open a save game in any mode (lobby, local, pbf, pbem)
